Hay Plains Landcare delivered an educational Cultural Burn Workshop: Building Drought Tolerance, facilitated by Dean Freeman and the Gugaa Collective to broaden understanding of Cultural Burns to reduce exotic weed, promote native ground cover and increase drought tolerance. Over the two days we shared learning and strengthened Cultural understanding, supporting intergenerational learning and preserving First Nations Heritage.
The Australian landscape has evolved with Cultural Burning for many thousands of years. In our landscape this ancient practice can encourage biodiversity and help maintain open, grassy ecosystems that are dominated by our valued native species. Hay Plains Landcare identified they wish to learn more about traditional revegetation techniques in modern land management systems and delivered this unique opportunity to the Hay community.
